After a while, the horse-faced Daoist's ears moved slightly, and sure enough, he saw some small insects like worms hurriedly crawling out and going out.

The musty smell in the air seems to have been dispelled a little bit and freshened.

Li Zhen proposed from the beginning: "Would it be good to give me back a piece of incense? If I don't have this thing around me, I'm afraid I'll get sick from the cold." ”

The horse-faced Taoist sneered, took it all, and ignored him.

Li Zhen was furious: "Don't give it at all, just kill Lao Tzu!"

The horse-faced Taoist reluctantly took out the jujube core and gave it to him, and asked, "How do you use this thing?"

Li Zhen said: "If there is an incense burner, you can scrape the powder print, and if you don't have it, you can also light it directly, and the monk borrows the incense to save the thoughts, visualize the appearances, according to the general soul refining method, mortals can only use this to refresh their minds, or repel insects and ward off evil spirits." ”

After that, put the spiritual incense in front of them and put it in your mouth, close your eyes and recuperate.

The horse-faced Taoist and the shopkeeper Huo glanced at each other a few times, and secretly observed for a while, but they didn't notice anything wrong, so they nodded and went to the other side to sit cross-legged and try.

At night, it is silent, only the drizzle outside the cave and the occasional sound of dripping water.

Li Zhen suddenly opened his eyes and glanced thoughtfully at the night watchman by the campfire.

In addition to the usual burning of incense, such as traveling on the road, or encountering the difficulties of the wicked, or in the rivers and lakes by the danger of wind and waves, in danger, there is no fire to burn, chew the incense in the mouth, spray it upward, so as not to doom.

At this moment, it is the so-called critical moment of encountering the difficulties of the wicked, Li Zhen thought about it, and only the monk's means can deal with the monk.

Don't say that the horse-faced Taoist, or the martial artists around the shopkeeper Huo, is the shopkeeper Huo himself, and he probably can't beat it, so he must not come hard.

But there is one point, the communication spirit rune is a magic weapon that is not a popular product, and it was once refined by the ancestor by borrowing his own essence blood.

It has the functions of communication and positioning, which can let the ancestor know where he is, and he can respond to it by just touching it.

This requires concentrating and calming, and it is too late to try it during the day, and it is impossible to steal the talisman from under the noses of the horse-faced Daoist at the moment, but it may be possible to use the miraculous effect of the spiritual incense to release it and communicate with this thing to ask the ancestor for help.

They know that they are mortal and will not be wary of this, by surprise or by wonder.

Perhaps it was because today's mood was very different, Li Zhen took a long time to finally succeed in settling down, feeling that his body was shining, and invisible lines as thin as gossamer appeared in the enveloped range, and it was the thoughts that were transformed by the spirit wandering in the enveloped range of divine consciousness.

If you can refine the aura and transform the five elements, you can manifest it.

There was also an aura of aura around the horse-faced Taoist, which was the realm formed by the monk releasing his divine consciousness and sensing the movements around him.

Fortunately, the other party is greedy for cultivation and has already indulged in it, as long as he doesn't show malicious intent towards him, or make other moves, he shouldn't attract attention.

But Li Zhen soon discovered that he had not been able to sense the existence of the spirit rune.

Divine sense sensing is different from eyesight, it is more like a spiritual resonance, the spirit rune has been refined by one's own essence and blood, if it is within the enveloping range, it should show a vision of emitting a hazy glimmer of light, like a fluorescent stone in the night.

After all, he didn't have any qi refining, and these threads of thought could only travel within a radius of zhang around his body, far less than about ten zhang for a beginner monk.

"The visual inspection is not so accurate, and the distance is still too far......"

Li Zhen opened his eyes again and estimated, and found that there was still about three feet left.

But at this critical moment, just three feet is like a world of difference.

"Can't get over it after just one zhang?

Li Zhen shouted wildly in his heart, and inadvertently felt that his heartstrings were loosening, and the scope of his divine consciousness seemed to have become larger.

It's like a person reaching out to grab something, desperately trying to reach forward, and the divine thoughts are also spreading.

However, there is still more than a foot left!

"It's going to be longer...... Just a little longer!"

Li Zhen was originally looking for an opportunity to cultivate, pestering his wife to learn the method of contemplation, and then exchanging elixirs from Senior Brother Zhu to gain divine sense, it stands to reason that he has already met the hard conditions for entry.

It's just that the spiritual root is lacking, the immortal path has no basis, and the spiritual energy cannot be refined, and it has never been able to truly embark on the path of cultivation.

He has not been serious about refining qi so far, and he needs the help of Xin Lingxiang to occasionally release his divine sense.

Even so, it was just a little bit away, which was unexpected.

Now Li Zhen can be regarded as truly understanding what it means to be close to the end of the world.

It's like his dream of being a monk, which seems to be within reach, but it's actually out of reach.

Li Zhen's heart was full of unwillingness, and his expression became a little hideous: "Is the difference between immortals and mortals really determined by nature?"

His mind was full of stubborn thoughts, not thinking about postponing the plan, looking for an opportunity to come again, and it was not good to find an excuse to move his body, and then talk about it a few feet closer, because if there was any change, he might be suspected, and then he would cut off the supply of spiritual incense, and it would be even more difficult to have such a good opportunity now.

Suddenly, something seemed to bloom violently in my mind.

A wave of divine consciousness swept by, and it was like a wave spreading, rushing more than ten feet away.

The horse-faced Taoist woke up suddenly, and with a brush, the pure gold flying sword flew out of the sword bag on his waist and levitated in front of him.

"What's the matter?" asked Shopkeeper Huo in surprise after realizing it.

The horse-faced Taoist said solemnly: "There are monks!"

Shopkeeper Huo was suddenly extremely nervous, and quietly retreated to the side in the shape of an ostrich.

But after waiting for a while, the sound of rain outside was still there, and there was no sign of outsiders coming.

Only then did the horse-faced Daoist realize that something was wrong, turned his head to look around, and paused slightly on Li Zhen's body: "Do you have any magic weapons and talismans or something like that?"

Li Zhen said: "Didn't you search them all?"

The horse-faced Taoist looked suspicious and groaned, but he couldn't think of a reason.

"Did it work? It seems to have been encountered, but it seems that there is no ......"

Seeing that the other party had begun to doubt himself, Li Zhen couldn't help but be a little worried, but unexpectedly, the horse-faced Taoist took a few steps closer, and immediately noticed it, and shouted: "What are you doing with your heart beating so fast, what are you making trouble just now?"

At the critical moment, Li Zhen suddenly found that the smell on the other party's body had not changed at all.

"He's bluffing me! He's not sure what's going on!"

So he refused to admit it: "I have been closing my eyes just now, and I was startled by you, it can't be that you have used the spirit incense for too long, and your consciousness is different, right?"

The horse-faced Taoist was slightly stunned: "How do you say this?"

Sometimes the body is accustomed to the power of weights, and it will be light and heavy when it is just unloaded, and it feels like one foot is empty. ”

The horse-faced Taoist was surprised: "What else do you say?"

Li Zhen said seriously: "You meditated just now, but you are not used to this incense, and it is easy to wake up at the slightest disturbance." In fact, it is not difficult to understand, since the belief in spiritual incense is helpful for refining the soul, it will definitely react with spiritual things, it is you who are too sensitive. ”

The horse-faced Taoist hesitated for a while, but finally did not insist anymore, after all, Li Zhen was just a mortal, and he couldn't do anything he wanted to.

But he still instructed the shopkeeper Huo: "This is not a place to stay for a long time, you will leave immediately after dawn." ”

Shopkeeper Huo said: "Yes." ”

Seeing this, Li Zhen secretly praised his wit, but he also wondered: "What happened just now?"

The time soon came to the second day, and it was still raining outside, so the group put on their robes and embarked on the trip while the sky was just dawning.

They did not take the official trail, but drilled through the dense forests in the mountains, and soon after, they entered a sheep's intestine path.

The mountain road after the rain was extremely difficult to walk, Li Zhen's feet were on the muddy ground, and his exquisite deerskin boots were already soaked, and he only felt that his socks were stained with muddy water, which was extremely uncomfortable.

Realizing that he was moving away from his hometown, Li Zhen deliberately found fault: "Can't you pick a good way to go!"

The horse-faced Taoist sneered and said, "At this time, I am still picky." ”

The shopkeeper Huo said: "Brother Li, you can be patient for a few days, and when you get out of the mountain, some will be picked up by carriage." ”

After thinking about it, he simply called a guard and instructed: "You carry Brother Li on your back and hurry." ”

Li Zhen waved his hand and said, "No need, I'll go by myself." ”

The guard said: "Master Horse, you don't think I smell of sweat, just endure it, otherwise this mountain road is rugged, and you are pampered, when do you have to go?"

Li Zhen said: "You are not an animal, what are you carrying? I have feet, I can walk by myself!"

Everyone only treated him as a donkey with a temper attack, leading him and not walking backwards, and they all smiled and didn't speak.

The horse-faced Taoist was a little impatient: "What's wrong with you when you go back to the animal?" You kid is also a blessed person, and if you come up with this recipe, you will inevitably hear it in front of the ancestors and dignitaries, but mortals are mortals, Rory, do you really think that the Taoist master will not dare to cut you with a sword?"

The guard was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Yes, Master Horse, respect and order, I should carry you, and you must also listen to the immortal master." ”

Li Zhen hated that iron could not become steel: "Cheap bones, deserve to be the life of animals!"

When he was angry, no one noticed, and a yellow cloud appeared under the feet of the horse-faced Taoist, quietly spreading upwards in the mist.

This thing resembles the miasma of the mountains, but it appears extremely strangely, and in a short time, it wraps the calf below the knee of the horse-faced Taoist, making his whole person seem to be stepping into a fluffy cloud made of mist.

The horse-faced Taoist who was paying attention to Li Zhen was alert at this time, and glanced down with a look of surprise on his face.

Boom!

Suddenly, the horse-faced Taoist was blown away, the flames were expanding, his feet were broken, and even the flying sword that had just been sacrificed swirled open, and it was inserted into the mountain stone next to him with a bang.

"Immortal Master!" Shopkeeper Huo was stunned, his body shook suddenly, and he immediately fell into an ice cave.

"I wish Senior Brother!" Li Zhen was overjoyed, because he clearly saw that a sloppy Taoist was standing beside the mountain road not far away, holding the seal in his hand, still maintaining the posture of doing the law.

Without waiting for everyone to react, a flash of sword light suddenly attacked, and it went straight into the heart of the horse-faced Daoist, and the qi refining cultivator suddenly died on the spot before he could even scream.

Shopkeeper Huo woke up like a dream, and instead of retreating, he gritted his teeth and stepped forward, took out a dagger and put it against Li Zhen's neck: "Don't ...... Don't come here!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw a twist of my palm, and there was an invisible shadow that broke his five fingers.

The shopkeeper Huo wailed in pain, and the dagger clicked and fell into the mud.

The sloppy Taoist didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, and raised the gourd on the spot to take a sip of wine, but the flying sword flashed in the air and attacked the other four.

"Ahh

The screams came one after another, and the guards who had lost their courage were killed one after another, and soon only the shopkeeper Huo was left.

Li Zhen looked back and found that the front face of the shopkeeper Huo was distorted, half kneeling on the ground, and his body trembled slightly, as if he was fighting against an invisible giant force.

"Actually, I chased after him so quickly...... "Shopkeeper Huo was stunned, and he still didn't understand what was going on.

"Senior Brother Zhu, they claim to be from Zhu Yuanguo. Li Zhen hurriedly walked towards the sloppy Taoist.

Sloppy said: "That's true, Zhu Yuanguo has always been closely watching Xuanxin Kingdom, and he has to compete everywhere, I'm curious, how to find out your details." ”

Li Zhen said: "Yes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves." ”

Shopkeeper Huo smiled hard, and finally felt that the strength to suppress himself was slightly relaxed, but he also had no strength, and suddenly sat down on the mud floor, gasping for breath.

Sloppy said: "Do you know why you were spared? ”

Shopkeeper Huo smiled bitterly and said: "In all the world's hundreds of industries, which one of them is not to serve the immortal master, Brother Li can earn such a family property at a young age, and no one believes it behind him? ”

Li Zhen glanced at him and said to the sloppy: "It seems that you can't hide it from someone with a heart." ”

Sloppy said: "The leakage of the existence of Xin Lingxiang was expected, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. ”

With a wave of his hand, the flying sword struck, and the shopkeeper Huo died on the spot.

Li Zhen said: "Senior Brother Zhu, why did you kill him?"

The sloppy Taoist asked rhetorically, "Since it's useless, what are you doing with it?"

Li Zhen couldn't help sighing, but he had nothing to say, this is the difference between immortals and mortals.

The sloppy Taoist beckoned, took his flying sword back into his bag, and then took out the cloth bag magic weapon and used part of the spirit incense from the horse-faced Taoist, and threw the spirit talisman and other sundries to Li Zhen, and said, "Let's go back." ”

Li Zhen said: "Don't be busy first, I still have something on them." ”

So he got his notes back from the shopkeeper Huo, and said, "Please also ask senior brother to help me pull out that person's flying sword, you don't like to use it, but I am very rare." ”

The sloppy Taoist frowned and said: "Other people's swords are mostly poured with essence blood, and the divine thoughts are refined, how can they have their own hands on it?" I think this Taoist is also a poor person, and he doesn't even have a decent magic weapon on his body, so the cloth bag is still a little useful." ”

Li Zhen said: "Isn't that just melting? There are also skilled craftsmen in the city, but a flying sword costs at least 100 taels of gold, and I have always wanted to get it to play, and I have no spare money." ”

In his heart, he secretly slandered, and he didn't know which one said the original sentence "not into the stream and extraordinary products".

The sloppy Taoist only scored his divine thoughts, helped Li Zhen pull out the sword, and laboriously carried it in front of him.

The flying sword had no handle and no sheath, Li Zhen simply wrapped it in a cylinder with Huo's shopkeeper's coat, and after doing this, he couldn't help but sneeze loudly.

"It's a little cold, I wish we go back quickly. ”
